Rotational Shot Put (Video)

Coach Boo Schexnayder highlights teaching progressions for the rotational shot put, while addressing preliminary movements such as the grip, stand and wind. In this clip, he defines the differences in the positioning of the rotational style and the glide style, offering effective strategies to teach both styles.

—There are slight differences in the positioning of the shot and the rotational style when compared to the glide style.

—In the glide style the shot contacts the front of the neck and is cradled with the lower elbow and supported a bit from underneath in many cases.

—In the rotational style the elbow is higher and the shot often rises a bit higher, contacting the side of the neck more than in the glide.
